I thought you had two boxes of four each?

Oh, I tested 8 'ins', I see you guys are using >8 'outs' .. glad I noticed!




No, each MOTU has 8 physical connections for analog use, ins and outs. I have 2 of those. As soon as I add that 9th (or more) channel, boom. The PCI card mux's the outs into a firewire cable that goes to the MOTU and demux's to feed 8 outs. (So it is not 8 physical cables from the computer to the MOTUs.) Those 8 outs go to the analog mixer. It's when I add the second firewire cable and second 2408 that it crashes.

I say this assuming everyone knows "mux". Just means multiplexes, gangs (mux) or ungangs (demux) more than one feed to pass it through one cable.
